Ship Confirm Rules

Ship confirm rule enables you to determine how shipments are ship confirmed.

The following aspects of defining a ship confirm rule provide you the flexibility to:

• Specify tasks along with shipment confirmation

• Specify options if shipped quantities aren't manually entered

• Specify the document job set

Specify tasks along with shipment confirmation

You can specify your organization's preference of tasks to be completed along with shipment confirmation, by selecting one or more of the following check boxes:

• Create shipment for remaining staged quantities

  A new shipment will be created for lines with remaining staged quantities. Remaining staged quantity is applicable when shipped quantity is different from picked quantity on the line.

• Create bill of lading and packing slip

  A bill of lading and packing slip is created.

  Note: You must define sequences of type "Automatic" for the application and module "Shipping." The sequences must be assigned to document sequence categories "BOL" or "PKSLP."

• Close shipment

  The shipment status is set to closed and as a result all the shipment lines status is set to shipped.

• Defer sending inventory updates to integrated applications

Specify options if shipped quantities aren't manually entered

You must specify an option that will be applied during ship confirm if the shipped quantity isn't manually entered for a staged line or lines. For example, consider a scenario where a shipment has 10 staged lines, and the shipped quantity is manually entered for eight of the lines. The ship confirm rule must indicate what to do with the two lines for which the shipped quantity isn't manually entered. The options are:

• Backorder

  The two staged lines are set to Backorder status and are unassigned from the shipment.

• Cycle count

  The two staged lines are marked for cycle count, set to Backorder status, and unassigned from the shipment.

  Note: The quantities transferred for cycle counting aren't considered for selection during the next pick release.

• Ship requested quantities

  The requested quantity on the two staged lines is shipped.

• Stage

  The two staged lines remain staged, but are unassigned from the shipment.

Specify the document job set

When a ship confirm rule is used, you can associate the document job set to use during shipment confirmation.
